Campaign Material Issues
Campaign material offered financial inducements to vote for a slate.  The C&O restaurant, a large Venice employer, offered to pay employees who are not working for their time in voting in the Neighborhood Council election, (as well as a free meal).  The letter, which calls on the employees to vote for a hand-picked slate of candidates, goes on to state that AWe have prepared everything you need to vote that you can get from your managers@ and says Awe will pay you for an hour of your time and even provide a free lunch.@

2.    Campaign material was provided along with free meals and drinks at Scopa, another Venice restaurant, during which the free diners were given slate sheets telling them whom to vote for and loaded into a van and taken to the polling place.
Both of these tactics violate Elections Code '18522, which declares it a felony to Apay, lend, or contribute, any money or other valuable consideration to or for any voter ... to: (a) Induce any voter to: ... (2) vote ... for any particular person.@  In each case the slate supported included Ira Koslow, George Francisco, Melissa “24/7” Diner, Matthew Royce, Evan White, and Matt Kline.  
The campaign materials handed out at SCOPA also called for electing the restaurant’s owner, Steve Livigni, as a community officer.  Livigni won with the sixth highest vote count of all Community Officer candidates.
The members of the slates should be disqualified from holding office for this term, including Steve Livigni.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
